The Canada Revenue Agency administers the Alberta child and family benefit, which is a Canada child benefit (CCB) related program, on behalf of the Alberta provincial government.
Alberta child and family benefit
The Alberta child and family benefit (ACFB) is a tax-free amount paid to families that have children under 18 years of age.
For July 2023 to June 2024, you may be entitled to receive the following amounts:
- $1,410 ($117.50 per month) for the first child
- $705 ($58.75 per month) for the second child
- $705 ($58.75 per month) for the third child
- $705 ($58.75 per month) for the fourth child
The benefit is reduced as family income exceeds $25,935. If your adjusted family net income is between $25,935 and $43,460, you may receive a partial benefit.
In addition, families with working income of more than $2,760 may be entitled to receive the working income component of:
- $722 ($60.16 per month) for the first child
- $657 ($54.75 per month) for the second child
- $393 ($32.75 per month) for the third child
- $130 ($10.83 per month) for the fourth child
The amount is reduced if your adjusted family net income is more than $43,460.
ACFB payments are made separately from the CCB payments and issued in August, November, February and May.
This program is fully funded by the Alberta provincial government.
